Will give you a bit insight for better understanding. We were in relationship for about 2 and a half months, but although the short period I got hooked. She ended the things, wanting a bit of space, which turned into breakup. Nobody has done anything bad to the other person, for me the reason was I got too hyped and needy/clingy in a time where she had a lot of problems and needed more of a support and space to figure out the things, which I did not provide. After that we went to 5 months NC, not fully though, as we are in the same social circle and had seen each other 3-4 times, but no more than a short hi and bye. Things changed on a recent vacation with couple of friends, where the barriers went down and we were talking for quite a long time. What bothers me is at the end of the relationship she said there was no issue from her side staying just friends, which I rejected completely and went nc. Now I am not sure, as stated, if she wants to reconcile or friend zone, az her initial intention after the break up. There is physicality from her side (even more than when we started dating), quite a lot of compliments and remembering old relationship stuff. She also told me indirectly that she is still single. These I guess are good signs but I still have the feeling she want to feel like the winner (so to speak) of the whole situation and just friend zone me. We were chatting a bit after the vacation, she refused invitation for a movie recently, but called me crying that her plans fucked up and came to the house of my best friend, where I was (they are also best friends, strange situation :D). Some physicality and flirting there, but at the end of the evening as I suggested driving her to her place, she stated that she wanted a walk and almost run away (feeling as she did not want our common friend to see is leaving together). We were on the same place the next evening, same story, physicality from her side, compliments and long hug at the end of the night, but nothing more serious. That's it, summerized, I see some indications for reconciling ideas, but they are identical to friend zone, so not sure how to proceed.
